This morning, Injustice.com came online and is showing a surprise teaser for NetherRealm Studios' next fighting game, based in the DC Universe, Injustice: Gods Among Us. This is to be NetherRealm's second fighting game to feature DC Universe characters since the Mortal Kombat crossover Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe, produced when the studio was still Midway Games. Unlike Mortal Kombat (2011), it looks like Injustice will also be available on the new Nintendo Wii U, in addition to the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Currently, the release date has been broadly set to sometime next year, 2013.

The Injustice website is currently live with a few renders of Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Harley Quinn and Solomon Grundy. The website also has Social Media links so that you can follow updates from the game creators directly from the source on both Twitter @InjusticeGame and Injustice on Facebook.

Update 9:40AM: Now Gamespot has an interview up with Ed Boon about Injustice that goes into detail on the arenas and how they matter to the game. Also how DC Comics let them re-envision the character models a bit with their own twists.

Update 10am: We now have the full Press Release which you can read in it's entirety below:

This is awesome news! Eventhough I was waiting for some Mk10 news, I am happy with this. I hope this game plays alot better than MK Vs DC and I wonder how they will balance out the characters in the DC universe. Can't wait!

This could show just how good and versatile NRS's creative team is I'm looking forward to Nightwing taking out Batman. yeah that's right I said it.

Re: NetherRealm's New DC Fighting Game Injustice Revealed

Get hype!!!!!
I can't wait to see how NRS pull this off. It looks quite dark and gritty, I really think thats a good thing. It was also a pretty good idea because they could re-use some of the animations from MKvsDCU (like they did with NPCs in the challenge tower in Mk9). I really want this!

Re: NetherRealm's New DC Fighting Game Injustice Revealed

Looks like heroes and villains may switch roles in this game, brilliant concept. From the trailer it seems that the fighting will be on a 2.5D plane with cutscene like animations while executing super moves, similar to SF and MVC.

Re: NetherRealm's New DC Fighting Game Injustice Revealed

Can anyone tell for sure if it is going to be 3D, 2.5D or 2D with just with 3D animation for some moves? I am hoping for the later.

Oh and correct me if I am wrong but even tho Lex isn't announced isn't that him that is facing off with Superman in the trailer before it goes to the game play? And for that matter they maybe another character in their too. You have Wonder Woman vs. Harley Quinn, Batman vs. Grundy, Superman vs. possibly Lex and The Flash vs. someone with ice. There is a number of ice villains in DC but my money would be on Freeze.

Re: NetherRealm's New DC Fighting Game Injustice Revealed

^^ in the interview it seems to be 2d but you can use things in the stage that are in the background or foreground. I'm mad they're not making another mk game but at least they're making a fighter. God I hope it's tournament worthy. I think it will be. Cheers to MK10 coming out in 2015.

Re: NetherRealm's New DC Fighting Game Injustice Revealed

Batman Wins Evo and stopped the joker only a few moments later. lol

I hope it is tourny worthy. I want Superman and Darkseid not to be Op and have every superpower under the yellow sun. If they use the Mk fighting system as the core system for this game like Patman said it should be.

Re: NetherRealm's New DC Fighting Game Injustice Revealed

I will be refreshing this site all weekend for some game play! Considering they had MK9 to play at e3 a year before it came out my money is on it being playable.

I for one will be buying this day one! I don't even like super heros. I know bat man because of Christopher Nolan and I know the Flash because of the Queen song. That's the extent of my super hero knowledge. But I love how MK9 plays and I assume they're using the same engine with many tweaks. So I look forward to learning about all these heros and villains.
